The challenge
Growers spend a majority of their time out in the field. This is where they gather data, track growth, study patterns, and strategize. Syngenta Digital has a web-based farm management software system called Land.db, but they needed a robust mobile version that would allow their clients to utilize their software when they needed it most: in the field.
PROBLEMS:
- Clients increasingly voicing the need for mobile
- pp needed to operate while also offline
“Their assistance in this product is integral to a successful campaign launch. After a couple of seasons of that we identified a specific affinity we have for working with this team and we started trying to expand the scope of what we can utilize them for.”
The solution
To create the mobile version for Land.db, we built the program from the ground up and handled all aspects of UI/UX, development, management, and delivery. Syngenta Digital clients now have their farming management tool while anywhere in the field. Due to farming work often being in areas with poor or no internet connection, every feature in the app can be used and accessed while offline. Once the app reconnects to the internet, it automatically syncs back up to the main system and server. The app also provides geolocation data to help users automatically locate the field they’re surveying, to set rain gauges based on location, and to easily access maps and locations to track distances.
RESULTS:
- App increased production, revenue, and client satisfaction
- Offline mode multiplied on-the-job usage
- Increased customer retention and the sales of Syngenta products
